Senator Sherman and Mrs. Polk.


Shortly after breakfast Mayor Kercheval. of
the Legislature. appeared and invited the Sena-
tor to visit first the Governor at the Capitol,
then Mrs. Polk, widow of the ex President The
venerable Mrs Polk received him at the Polk
mansion with all the stateliness OF old time
Washington etiquette. She attended by
her niece. Miss Sadie Polk Fall, the celebrated
belle of Tennessee, whose havoc at the watering
places of the North the last few seasons has left
a bistering train of heart burning, envy and
regret. Miss Fall is indeed entitled to all the
praise she has had for her peerless beauty, her
sparkling wit, and her perfect self-possesson
in the presence of greatness. Mrs. Cleveland
and Miss Sadie Polk Fall ought to know each
other.
The venerable Mrs. Polk received the Senator
with charming oldfashioned grace. She is very
feeble physically. but her mental powers are
wonderful. She was in mourning with the cutest
little lace cap over her white hair. Said the
Senator, he took her withered hand with the
grace of Chesterfield:
My dear madam. one Of the most grateful and
pleSsssat recoilections of my life the occasion
when first met you"
''Ah!' said the old lady: land whenF (She

A "Notoriously Corrupt" Candidate Cap
Kansas City Times.
Four 'bus-loads of ladies', all apparently com
ing from the eastern portion of the city. were
driven up in front Of the city clerks Office at
Topeka at different times to day. They marched
straight to City Clerk Tauber's Office where they
were registered, and this means that they intend
to vote at the coming city election.
1t took but a short time to learn that one John
Carter, ward politician, had engaged the bus
and it was he who was bearing all the expenses
Carter is working in the interest Of Metsker for
Mayor, and he is moving heaven and earth to
secure as heavy registration of female voters
as he possibly can Everyone recognizes the
fact that If it was square issue among men,
Metsker would be showed under. The reason
with Metsker and his peculiar methods and they
tempt for him.
1t was not generally believed that any very
great number of the ladies of Topeka intended to
vote for Metsker for Mayor At least the mem
bers Of the Topeka Equal Suffrage Association
do not intend to do So At recent meeting of
the association it decided not to vote for any
candidate who, by the use of money or intoXi-
eating liquor, sought his nomination or election.
If this resolution is carried Metsker will not
receive one single vote of any Topeka lady. 1t
Is q notorious fact that he uses money whenever
he goes into politics, and the ladies of Topeka
owe it to themselves to discountenance anything
OF the kind. By all means they should discour-
age Metsker and his methods, and they can do
nothing better than to vote for honest Bob Cot

He was untidy boy and was often taken to

day his master, who had very dignifed and i'm.

A Mark TapIey Among Birds.

Boston Transcript
local story, very appropriate to the season
and the heart-sickuess which long deferred hope
of spring has caused:
A suburban family have a canary which has
been cherished inmate of their household for
fifteen years The old bird has been completely
paraiyzsd as to one leg aud one wing, and holds
his poor withered leg close up to his body; but
he would hop about cheerfully enough on the
other leg if it were not for the fact that he has
become totally blind with age. Not a ray of
light can he see, and he has to summon the fam
lily when he wants to mount his perch, and he
does not hesitate to summon them on such occa-
sions by call that they have no difficulty in I'M
derstanding.
But this decrspit old canary has one trait
which commends him more than ever to the az
lection of the family. Whenever the sun comes
out, and the bright light strikes his cage. he
bursts forth into a song as joyous and musical
as any that canary ever sung Some CLEAN of
the brightness peueirates the film over his old
eyes. and he pours out his torrent Of vocal re-
joicing if he could see far out over the fields
illuminated with sunlight. His cheerfulness
amid tremendous encouragement has been an
example of bravery that has carried more than
one human being through seasons of trouble and
dependency.

English Composition in Our Colleges.

Prof. A. s. Hill, in April Scribner.
Under the most favorable conditions the re-
suits of English composition as practiced in col
lege are, it must be confessed, discouraeing.
The shadow of generations of perfunctory writ
ers seems to rest upon the paper, and only here
and there is it broken by ray of light from the
present. / know no language-ancient or mod
ern, civilized or savage-so insufficient for the
purposes of language, SO dreary and inexpensive
az theme language in the mass. How two or
three hundred young men, who seem to be really
alive as they appear In the flesh, can have kept
themselves entirely out of their writing, it is i'm
possible to understand-impossible for the in
structor who has read these productions by the
thousand, or for the graduate who looks at his
own compositions ten years after leaving college.
Perhaps the most potent cause of this deplor-
able state of things has been the practice of
forcing young men to write on topics of which
they know nothing and care to know
nothing-topics, moreover, that present no
salient point for their minds to take hold
of. An improvement-for Improvement there is
